What Mandy Needs to Know

OK, the first 4 weeks of teaching are behind us so we may now have some time to begin the Mandy version of the Teachers' Cocktails blog. (It should s' right? since there are teachers, plural?) Any way, we were talking last week about what the categories should be. Suggested so far:
Attendance: you need to know who was there and who may be new.
The Story Mandy would most enjoy: for example, four weeks ago Robin and Jerry went on a team building retreat a la The Office. The lead up and aftermath of this event provided weeks of hilarious commentary that Mandy would have loved! Really Mandy, a team building ropes course retreat. No really. And, and, then Robin and Jerry's teams had to create a song, poem, dance that expressed what we learned. No really Mandy, we did this. (Sorry to switch back and forth from the 1st person plural to the 3rd person. Don't dock me credit.)
Episode of "The Classroom" ideas: should be a category (see above for best episode ever).
Our Question of the Week for Mandy: category - either an actually question: Why do east coast schools close for Columbus Day - or a Sarah question - You're about to go in for your doctor appointment and realize you forgot to put on underwear, what do you do? And that way you will have to comment by answering our questions.

What other categories do you want Mandy? We will all discuss it tomorrow as tomorrow is Friday, raise your glass - clink -.
